Sections of a busy Glasgow train station will face temporary closures next week.
Anniesland train station's footpath, parking bays and the inside eastbound lane of Great Western Road will all be shut due to ground investigation work.
The works, which will take place between August 28 and September 5 from 7am until 5pm daily, will occur in front of the station entrances on Great Western Road in a bid to improve accessibility.
In July, Scotland’s Railway revealed plans to install two lifts at street level on Great Western Road.
The main project, which will begin at the end of September, is expected to take 12 months and once complete, will make it easier for people with impaired mobility or those travelling with luggage, children, or bicycles to access the station platforms.
Amanda Naughton, scheme project manager for Scotland’s Railway, said: "We thank all those who attended the information session, and who have reached out with positive feedback regarding the Anniesland Access for All project.
"We understand there will be some inconvenience to station and road users and to pedestrians during the initial works and the main project.
"We have made sure that access for our teams and equipment has been carefully considered so that the works will cause a minimal amount of disruption. We have also liaised with Glasgow City Council to agree on the safest traffic and pedestrian management system.
"We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as our teams work to complete this project, which will be of great benefit to the people of Anniesland and surrounding areas."
